Relationships amongst skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis, catch, bait catch, and the lunar cycle in Papua New Guinea skipjack tuna fishery In: Shomura, R.S.

A strong correlation exists between lunar phase and bait catch, withfull moon periods producing considerably lower average dailyaaaaa catches (51.4 buckets for full moon periods compared with 64.1 buckets for new moon ; P = 0.007). More skipjack tuna fishing days were lost due to the failure to catch bait during full moon periods (11.8)than during periods of new moon (6.8). Average daily skipjack tuna catches show little variation from one moon phase to another (2,878 kg per day for new moon and 2,690 kg per day for full moon ; P = 0.592). A curvilinear relationship of the type (x)= a(1 - e-bx)exists between skipjack tuna catch and bait catchesare not as beneficial per unit as smaller ones. Possible benefits of keeping a fraction of large bait catches for use on another day are discussed.Control No.: 00005862.nul

Report on possible Demand for Giant Clam Meat by Tongan Descendants in AustraliaAuthor(s): Tisdell, C., Wittenberg, R.Year: 1990Held at: IMR - Giant Clams BFIdentifiers: Giant Clams; Clam Meat; Recipes; Sales; Population; Marketing; Tongan CookingAbstract: The giant clam has been a traditional source of food among Pacific Islanders. Thus migrants and their descendants from these nations living in Australia might still want to maintain giant clam meat as part of their diet.Members of the Tongan community in Brisbane were interviewed in December 1989 and January 1990 in order to find out if this hypothesis holds. Information was collected in order to determine the size of the Tongan community in Australia, what quantities of clam meat they are prepared to buy at, what prices and the type of product they are looking for. Although the Tongan community is relatively small in Australia (about 10,000 - 15,000 persons)it could represent a substancial market because of the quantities of clam meat Tongan families plan to purchase (1 - 4 kg/week per family)even at relatively high prices (AUS$ 5 - 12/kg). More importantly however, Tongans are prepared to buy the meat of the whole clam and not just the adductor muscle.Control No.: 00006218.nul

Coastal Fisheries ProgrammeAbstract: The Coastal Fisheries Programme of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community was reviewed in mid-2003. The review team visited SPC headquarters in Noumea and met a variety of stakeholders in New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and Papua New Guinea. Telephone interviews were also conducted. The CFP was found to be generally effective in its mission to optimise the value of small-scale fisheries and aquatic resource use in Pacific Island waters. All six sections of the CFP appeared to be making good progress towards meeting their established objectives. Major findings were that more assistance was needed to increase fisheries management capacity of agencies; economic analysis capabilities were also low; and that CFP’s links and communications with countries had weakened, with many stakeholders unaware of the range of CFP services available to them. Fourteen major recommendations were made to address these and other issues identified by the review.Control No.: 00012810.nul

Because the two regions are sharply different topographically (the first being a reef-studded strip of shallow coastal water, generally well mixed vertically, while the second is chiefly 1000 to 5000 m deep with marked water structure in the vertical), they can best be treated separately with references to their interactions where appropriate (or, more exactly, where known). In neither case is the available information sufficient for a full description.Control No.: 00006226.nul

A review of turtle by-catch in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean tuna fishery: a report prepared for the South Pacific Regional Environmental Programme (SPREP)Author(s): SPC Oceanic Fisheries ProgrammePublisher: SPREPYear: 2001ISBN: 982040231XHeld at: USP|SPC|SPREPASFA Subject(s): Longlining, Purse seining, By catch, Tuna fisheriesIdentifiers: TurtlesAbstract: The Pacific Islands region is a significant area for marine turtle breeding and migration. Local people have exploited turtles for centuries, but incidental capture of turtles during commercial fishing for other species has hastened their decline. The two major tuna fishing methods, longline and purse seine, are described. By-catch assessment is based upon catch effort and catch data obtained by observers on fishing vessels. The nature, extent and factors affecting turtle encounters are discussed, as well as estimates of turtle captures and suggestions for mitigation of turtle capture. The biology and ecology of the following species are summarised: green turtle (Chelonia mydas); hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata); leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea); loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) and olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea). The review concludes with recommendations for improving knowledge on turtle encounters.Control No.: 00013152.nul

A review on the use of live baitfishes to capture skipjack tuna, (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the tropical Pacific Ocean with emphasis on their behavior, survival, and availability In: Shomura, R.S. (ed.)Author(s): Baldwin, W.J.Year: 1977Notes: Collection of Tuna Baitfish Papers, 8-35Held at: IMR - Baitfish , Shomura , 1977Identifiers: Baitfish; Tuna; SkipjackAbstract: The use of baitfishes in the Pacific Ocean skipjack tuna fishery is reviewed primarily to provide essential information for future baitfish investigations and as useful reference for fishery development. Emphasis is placed upon various baitfish characteristics such as size, coloration, body form, behavior, schooling, survival in captivity, and their suitability for capturing skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis, by pole-and-line methods. In addition, data on their capture and handling methods are given. Thirty-one baitfish families are included in the text and pertinent information on each family is summarised in two tables. A total of approximately 160 baitfish species are discussed in the text and their area of geographical use recorded in a table and map of the Pacific Ocean. Recommendations for future research related to the use of baitfishes and an extensive bibliography are included.Control No.: 00005854.nul
